Why wasn't an autopsy done on anthrax scientist Bruce Ivins after his apparent suicide?

Question

Wouldn't it be wise to be absolutely sure that it was the paracetamol and codeine that killed him?

Answer 1

The death of Bruce Ivins was treated as a suicide precisely to close the the case. But there is no evidence whatsoever to connect Ivins to the Anthrax Crimes. For starters, the so-called investigators could not even establish a match between the handwriting on those death threat letters and the envelopes used to distribute the anthrax. That is why you will NEVER see any comparisons.

It is also very likely that Ivins was murdered. And such a murder by an anthrax expert wouldn't be the first. A leading anthrax expert, Dr. Don C. Wiley, who may have been in a position to know that the Anthrax Crimes were an inside job by the CIA, died under suspicious circumstances a month after the attacks began. According to Memphis police officials, the bridge which Dr. Wiley fell off on November 15, 2001, had a railing “high enough that even the 6’3” Wiley could not have accidentally fallen over without assistance.” The local police suspicion of homicide was overruled by the FBI “and other U.S. agencies,” who insisted it was a suicide.

Would a U.S. agency kill a non-cooperator? According to former South African National Intelligence Agency deputy director Michael Kennedy, when another top bioweapons expert Dr. Wouter Basson refused a job offer, the CIA allegedly threatened to kill him.

Knowledgeable U.S. and foreign intelligence sources have revealed that Wiley may have been silenced as a result of his discovery of U.S. government work on biological warfare agents long after the U.S. signed the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. President Nixon had actually ordered the Pentagon to stop producing biological weapons in 1969. It now seems likely that the U.S. military and intelligence community failed to follow Nixon’s orders.

In fact, since 1972, “South African bio-chemical weapons allegedly transferred to the CIA included, in addition to anthrax, cholera, smallpox, salmonella, botulinum, tularemia, thallium, E.Coli, racin, organophosphates, necrotising fasciitis, hepatitis A, HIV, paratyphoid, Sarin VX nerve gas, Ebola, Marburg, Rift Valley hemmorrhagic viruses, Dengue fever, West Nile virus, highly potent CR tear gas, hallucinogens Ecstasy, Mandrax, BZ, and cocaine, anti-coagulant drugs, the deadly lethal injection drugs Scoline and Tubarine, and cyanide.

What the U.S. government would not want divulged is the fact that the U.S. has been in flagrant violation of the 1972 Convention, Article 1 of which states: “Each State party to the Convention undertakes never in any circumstance to develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise acquire or retain: 1. Microbial or other biological agents, or toxins whatever their origin or method of production, of types and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes. 2. Weapons, equipment or means of delivery designed to use such agents or toxins for hostile purposes or in armed conflict.”

Furthermore, Dr. Wiley’s was not the only suspicious death of a scientist with knowledge of biological defenses. Just three days before Wiley’s death, Dr. Benito Que, a Miami Medical School cellular biologist died after “four men armed with a baseball bat attacked him at his car.” A week after Wiley died, Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik, a former Soviet bioweapons scientist was found dead near Britain’s biological warfare center.

For those who disbelieve the possibility that the U.S. Government is the number one suspect in the anthrax attacks, they are directed to James Bamford’s book on the National Security Agency, Body of Secrets. The book reveals that in 1962, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer was planning, along with other members of the Joint Chiefs, a virtual coup d’etat against the administration of President Kennedy using acts of terrorism carried out by the military but to be blamed on the Castro government in Cuba. The secret plan was code-named Operation Northwood.

Answer 2

Well, everyone knows that this case was really complex and evidence shown that he had committed suicide and the fact that autopsy was not needed since he drugged himself and no one really wanted to repeat the procedure to go over the case again ^_^

Answer 3

A full autopsy would not be needed in this case.

just a few simple blood tests.

Generally speaking, unrequested autopsies are performed only if teh coronoer believes that there is a suspiciious casue of death, other than what is apparent.
